[Allfinsfishy]

Hi

I'm currently running a resun king 4f to pump through 3x four foots with 3 dividers in each which travel back down to a three foot sump current pump is only 4800l/h and p"@s weak the weir are always bare minimum water when I'm sure I'd want them full it's on the way out and water isn't traveling up as strong any recommendations on what LPH I should be running I'm leaning towards 8-9000l/h and if so what is a reliable quiet brand my setup is in my bedroom lol

Hi mate,

I assume you know the lph @ a head height not max lph.
Many people vouch for Laguna pump as quite, reliable, and low wattage.

If you don't mind a second hand one, I have a Laguna 7 Utility pump sitting in my garage for $150. Max flow 7800lph, max head 4.1m, 100 watts. It does around 6600lph @ 1.2m.

You also need to ensure that your plumbing is big enough for the flow.
